Get your tickets now for Jilted at the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center, April 18–19. FIU Musical Theatre brings this sharp, funny, and heartfelt new musical to South Florida for one weekend only! Jilted: A New Musical by Irish writer Lauryn Gaffney is a bold, funny, and heartfelt story of heartbreak and self-discovery. Jill, an American photographer, moves to Ireland and falls in love?only to be left at the altar. Through catchy songs, misadventures, and deep moments with her two best friends, she begins to rebuild. The show explores modern mental health struggles, especially in the ensemble number "Jill's Phone," which mimics the chaos of doom-scrolling. Songs like "Red Flags" and "Little Shot in the Dark" explore dating pitfalls and emotional patterns with humour and honesty. When Jill's ex tries to return, she firmly shuts the door, realising she doesn't need a partner to feel whole. With vibrant music, sharp writing, and a message of self-love and friendship, Jilted is a modern musical for anyone who's been knocked down and got back up stronger.

Performed by the students of FIU’s B.M. and M.M. Musical Theatre Programs at The Wertheim, this production brings a smart new work to South Florida audiences for one weekend only.
